You have been subscribed to a public bug by Martin Pitt (pitti): On dapper i386, slapd creates the ldapi:// socket with
srwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 2007-05-03 19:24 /var/run/ldapi So only root processes can communicate with slapd via the unix socket. After setting it to srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2007-05-03 19:33 /var/run/ldapi libnss-ldap et.al. work properly. I found this thread on the openldap mailing list: http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200502/msg00176.html I fixed it here by adding these three lines right after start_slapd and start_slurpd in my /etc/init.d/slapd file: if [ -S /var/run/ldapi ]; then chmod a+rwx /var/run/ldapi fi Ciao Martin ** Affects: openldap2.2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Released ** Affects: openldap2.2 (Ubuntu Dapper) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Permissions for ldapi:// socket are too restrictive https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/114438 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is a direct subscriber. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
